Cream City Soundcheck releases new video

Cream City Soundcheck announced today the release of its new music documentary featuring the band Kane Place Record Club.

Cream City Soundcheck, in collaboration with the Pabst Theater's organization, allows UWM film students the opportunity to learn professional documentary skills through practical application. The group seeks to create videos capturing bands performing at historic Milwaukee venues as well as exploring the local color.

The video premiering today shows Kane Place Record Club attending the 2012 Tomato Romp, sampling Bloody Marys around the East Side, participating in a tomato-throwing fight and taking the stage for the first time ever at the historic Turner Hall Ballroom.

Cream City Soundcheck will release new videos every month. Upcoming subjects include The Fatty Acids, R.A.S. Movement, Allen Stone, Blessed Feathers and Field Report.

"Summertime" is a great song - so great that it`s been covered 25,000 times since George Gershwin wrote it in 1934. One of the more enchanting - and special - versions of the jazz standard has just dropped from Nineteen Thirteen, an enigma of a Milwaukee band. Featuring Victor DeLorenzo on percussion and Janet Schiff on cello as its two permanent members, you almost have to see this group to believe it.

On the eve of the release of their second album, "Fragments," OnMilwaukee.com sat down with Karen Muehlbauer, Ignacio Catral and Keith Bauer of the Milwaukee-based indie rock band The Violet Hour to chat about their significant change in musical direction, the new album, their affinity for ping pong and how one of them is secretly a Sarah McLachlan fan.

The origins of the Spare Change Trio probably sound like something you`ve heard a variation of before. What you may not have heard before in the Milwaukee music scene, however, is something quite like the Spare Change Trio`s sound - a mix of jam-happy reggae roots rock with a dash of something from Down Under: a didgeridoo.

5 Songs is a little secret that we tell you. These are the songs that we are passing to each other off-air, between shifts, under desks, in bars. These are the songs that we rip to our phones and play at the gym. These are the songs that we are going to play at the party this weekend. These are the albums that we are going to drop the needle on this Sunday morning, when the party is over.
